shut down problem

microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance maintenance

hello,pls help,thks.I encounter the problem sometimes but not always,when i
shut down my notebook,then screen show logging off and keep on showing this
more than 5 mins.Then i've no choice but to use the button to off the
power.Can anyone give me a hand?

Can anyone help with this?
I am having the exact same problem. I shut down and it logs off and then
stays on the "Windows is shutting down" screen forever. I have to power off
using the power button.
Then when I restart it goes into safety mode. It shut down fine from safety
mode.
Also, when I leave it for a while instead of going into "sleep" mode it will
shutdown completely and then I get error reports that windows shut down
unexpectedly.
Can anyone figure this out?

I have had the same problem with my notebook. I have even let it run the
shutdown screen overnight with no change and have had to hold the button down
to turn it off. Are there any fixes for this?

there may be some application which may be causing the issue. Try to do
a msconfig, disable all the services (except the Microsoft services) &
the startup items. And then try to shutdown the system. If it still
fails then run a scan through hijack this & clean the system. Once its
done try to shut down.
